Python Mk II & Updates To The Gamestore

[amigacooke]

Does this mean the Cobra IV might be available for ARX?



Will LEP or equivalents get the early access I wonder?

 

[maehara]

I mean who has 16000+ arx off the bat banked!?

 

[CMDR Vhi]

I'm somewhat torn on the pre-built ships. I get the problem it aims to address, and it is a problem worth addressing, but I'm not sure why it's only fixed by paying Arx.

Wouldn't it make more sense to just make it less grindy to outfit a ship from scratch for a new gameplay style, in game, without paying Arx?

Pre-built ships for real cash now?
That's why I hate online games.

Q: how long to bank 16k arx via ingame only?

Let’s see here… 400 per week, 4x per month, makes 1,600… 41 weeks. Or 10 months and a little. Me, will be waiting for others’ impressions. And even then probably won’t shell out when I can just get it with those credits if there’s anything I hear that’s to be liked, a few months later.

*Now with (hopefully) more accurate math because me stupid.

This is good news.
But fdev... let's have subs and not ships purchasing, even stealthily. I mean who has 16000+ arx off the bat banked!?

Assuming 400 ARX per week, as that is the maximum, that'd be 40 weeks.

I see no problem with paying real world cash for pre built ships. Grind your job or grind the game. If people want it then give it to them.

 

[CmdrPSB]

I note there's no mention of the pre-built ships having engineered modules, just that they will be upgraded, so until I hear or see details on what the builds are I'm assuming nothing.

 

[Yuri John]

Presumably LEP owners will also get early access to the python?

Im not sure... But to pay for a early access in ED isnt okay! (The "only cosmetics" politics was the right thing.) Well... 28 Days later. (Not more weeks.)

Depends whether your ingame activities, and time to play, can regularly reach the 400 ARX cap, so 40 weeks minimum. I don’t think I’ve ever actually ever exceeded the weekly cap, and typically I average less than 100 ARX a week.

Without engineering they're going to be pretty much useless... (or at least not worth the money/ARX).

these forums need a delete button!

I like the idea of paying for new ships, if that means we'll get more ship releases.
Please reconsider adding interiors though(I know twice the work for your artists, but it will increase sales)

 

[amigacooke]

So, a three month beta for the Python II

 

[St0rmFury]

Let’s see here… 400 per week, 4x per month, makes 1,600… 11 weeks. Or nearly three months. Starting from zero you could get yours just a week ahead of its general release. It’s a bargain.

Me, I’ll be waiting for player impressions. And even then probably won’t shell out when I can just get it with those credits if there’s anything I hear that’s to be liked, a few months later.

Bruh, more like 10 months

I can see some logic here. Rather than have people breaking TOS and selling engineered accounts for their own pocket (which I understand happens), cut out the middle man while making it accessible to people with scruples too.

Finally a use for all those ARX I have been getting from playing the game, Python Mk 2 ok!

Does it say that the upgraded ships are ARX-based? I'm not sure I read it that way.
